How does Konfir keep my data secure?

Updated over 3 weeks ago

At Konfir, data security is our top priority. We use best-in-class security measures to ensure your information is safe and protected.

What makes Konfir secure?

  • Data minimisation: We only request the data required for your verification.

  • No ongoing access: We use one-time access requests, which means we do not maintain any continuous access to your accounts. Once your verification is complete, our access is immediately closed.

  • Read-only access: Konfir has no ability to make changes to your accounts, only read certain data with your consent.

  • Consent-driven: Every step of a Konfir verification is powered by you providing authorisation/consent first. Nothing will be shared without your consent


How we secure your data

  • Banking security: We use the UK’s Open Banking system, which is underpinned by strong security measures implemented by your bank and regulated by the UK Government’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

  • Payroll security: Your data is securely shared through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) connected to your employer’s payroll/HR system. Our payroll partners are subject to regulation and oversight.

  • HMRC security: Data is accessed from your Government Gateway account, under your control, and with your consent via APIs provided by HMRC.

  • Platform security: Konfir's platform is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), known for its world-class infrastructure security.


Compliance and Certifications

  • Fully GDPR compliant

  • ISO 27001 certified

  • Registered as an Attribute Service Provider under the UK Government Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework
